Landforms (811203) Earth's landscape is made up of a wide variety of physical features referred to as landforms. Characteristics of the major landforms are illustrated through the use of dramatic footage from North America, including the Grand Canyon, Interior Plains, and the Rocky Mountains. Earth's water features are also depicted. Important terminology includes: plain, relief, interior plain, coastal plain, plateau, mountain, hill, valley, canyon, beach, dune, sea cliff, sea stack, ocean, lake, bay, river, and creek. Program includes a 14-min. video and is accompanied by a teacher's guide with assessment tests, lesson plans, lab activities, and a video script. A quiz follows the video. DVD program also includes a video index, labeled slides, subtitles, and iMovie clips.
Physical Geography (810040) Physical Geography examines the earth's oceans and fresh water sources, the major continents and basic landforms and the changes that are constantly occurring to the earth's surface. The program also looks at the world's climates and the factors that shape those climate zones, as well as the world's natural resources and the many ways people use them. Finally, the program considers how these aspects affect not only where people live but how they live as well. Through live-action video footage, graphics and animation, this comprehensive program helps students better understand the physical forms and forces that create the world around us and encourages them to apply this knowledge to gain an understanding of human or cultural geography. In this context, students will also be introduced to basic map and globe skills.
Oceanography: Bill Nye the Science Guy (810251) Students get "current" information as Bill Nye explains why oceans are salty and explores the way they flow.
